Hey Adventurer!
Last week in my Bard Camp: Your 2024 Legend Workshop, we gathered as storytellers to explore our epic adventures of this past year. Together, we met a fun cast of characters and they helped us see our journey in a whole new way.
Even if you couldn’t attend, I wanted to share the exercise with you. It’s a simple, playful way to reflect on your year and uncover the treasures within.
This exercise will help you see your year from different angles. What might you discover?
The XP you earned from challenges.
The value you brought to others and yourself.
The moments of joy, humor, and clarity that shaped your journey.
Let's Begin:
You'll meet four adventurers, each bringing a unique perspective to your story. Set aside 15–20 minutes and let these questions guide your reflection.
🛡️ The Warrior The Warrior sits in the corner fixing and cleaning their armor. The tavern lights make their scars shimmer.
What battles did you fight this year? What victories, big or small, did you claim?
Write down the moments where you showed courage, strength, or resilience.
🌿 The Healer The Healer stands near the hearth, mixing herbs into a steaming pot of water. Their presence radiates warmth and calm.
Where did you find healing, comfort, or connection? How did you nurture yourself or others?
Reflect on how you prioritized self-care, supported others, or rebuilt after challenges.
🎭 The Trickster The Trickster lounges on the edge of a table, flipping a coin between their fingers. They smirk as the coin vanishes.
Where did things go hilariously wrong? How did you adapt or grow from those moments?
Identify lessons, surprises, or unexpected wins that came from failure or chaos.
📜 The Sage The Sage sits with their staff resting beside them. They carefully turn the pages of a worn leather-bound book filled with maps and notes.
What truths or insights became clear to you this year? How did they guide your decisions or growth?
Think about the wisdom you’ve gained, whether through experience, reflection, or learning.
After meeting these characters, what you are calling your legend of 2024?
